Troy police seek motive for shooting

TROY >> Police are investigating exactly why a city woman chose to shoot a city man following an argument the two got into Monday night.

Police arrested Dalila Gonzalez, 22, of Troy on Monday after she allegedly shot Rayshawn Williams, 24, of Troy, with a Rohm .22 caliber revolver around 11:34 p.m. in front of the Capitaland Taxi company building at 159 Fourth St.

Capt. Daniel DeWolf said Williams was being “less than cooperative” with police but witnesses were able to give them a description of Gonzalez. She was found 20 minutes later in the area of 10th and Hutton Street after police spotted her vehicle.

Gonzalez was charged on weapons possession and was also charged for possession of marijuana. DeWolf also said there was a bench warrant out for her arrest separate from Monday’s incident but he did not have the details behind the warrant.

Williams was taken to Albany Medical Center where he underwent surgery for the gunshot wound in his sternum. DeWolf said Williams is in stable condition and expected to survive.

While Monday was considered an isolated incident, DeWolf said police are investigating the cause of it. DeWolf said police have ruled out a possible domestic incident.
